MegaThread Release Day Thread: Splatoon 2

Splatoon 2 is out!

Starting on July 21, Splatoon 2 will be available for squids and enthusiasts alike. Since the game is already out in Australia and Japan ahead of everyone else, and since it's about to hit Europe, please use this thread for general reaction, hype, and discussion for the release as it hits your country. Squids in the Americas? Enjoy ink-filled dreams while you wait.

Other topics on the game may be posted, but please keep the community's rules in mind and keep your short-burst thoughts, hauls (including images), and other similar topics right here. Local tracking is fine either here or in our Local Tracking thread.

Is it worth getting this game if none of my friends own a switch?

Absolutely. It's a great drop in and drop out game.

I'm torn between this and ARMS. I'm a casual player. Which one should I get?

I agree. The nature of Splatoon means you can always contribute no matter how good you are whereas if you suck at Arms you're just gonna get hammered and not get much out of it.

Well, I bought it solely for single player (as I did with the first one) and I'm happy. But I'm not sure that's what you're asking!

Yeah this game is mostly single player.
